Halloween Walking Parade is a modern approach to the traditional parade structure of years past. This year\u2019s event emphasizes safe streets, focusing on children and families and eliminating moving vehicles like floats and cars. Instead, the City is asking attendees to wear their Halloween costumes and walk the parade route to receive their treats.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-5\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-114423 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Halloween-Parade-Bus-Pass-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The parade has six divisions starting at 9<sup>th<\/sup> and Hamilton St. at 11 a.m. down to the Arts Park and ending at 1 p.m. During this time, families can trick-or-treat from over 75 participating businesses and organizations.
